Profile

The Millenium Hilton was built with the Financial District in mind: For every tourist amenity (the heated pool, the Precor Fitness Center), there’s one for business travelers, too (FedEx services, six meeting rooms, and flat-screens for PowerPoint presentations). Though the 55-story skyscraper was designed to resemble the mysterious monolith in 2001: A Space Odyssey, Kubrick's vision likely didn't include the bland interiors of these 569 guest rooms. Nevertheless, the hotel—reopened in 2003 after a $32 million renovation—has spectacular views of the Statue of Liberty and the East River bridges. Being way downtown may not lend itself to sampling New York’s nightlife, so Church & Dey brasserie and the Liquid Assets bar allow guests to dine or drink stylishly without leaving the building. — Caroline Kinneberg
